Adobe Captivate Question: What To Do When A Larger Capture Area is Needed?
I am learning Adobe Captivate using your Skills and Drills workbook. I have started my first demonstration using a screen resolution of 1024×768 and a recording area of 800×600. Unfortunately, when I preview my project not all of the text is visible on the screen. Can you help?
Answer
If the 800×600 red recording area is not big enough, you will need to select a custom size that works for the software you are recording. I recommend recording sizes of either 640×480 or 800×600. However, there are times when neither of those sizes is appropriate. In that case, you can type in width and height values that work, or manually make the red recording area larger prior to recording the lesson.

Grammar Question: How Do You Label The Back of Pictures?
Dear Jennie Ruby,
I'm unsure of the correct way to label the back of pictures: "Andy and Me" or "Andy and I."
I try to rationalize "Andy and Me" by thinking "This is Andy.
This is me" because when I think "This is Andy. This is I" it doesn't sound right. I know that it would be correct to say "This is Andy and me at the beach" but it wouldn't be correct to say "This is Andy and I at the beach." If I just use a pronoun (me) and a name (Andy), which way is correct? Please help.

Jennie's Answer
"This is I" is the correct grammar, and "This is Andy and I" is correct. However, most people do not use the proper grammar for the phrase This is I, so that makes it awkward to label your pictures correctly.
If you use the correct grammar, your grammar will distract readers, who will probably pause and ask themselves "Is that right? That sounds funny!"
To make the labels correct and not distracting, you might say something like "This is a picture of Andy and me."

RoboHelp Question: Why Isn't My CHM File Working Correctly?
I'm using RoboHelp HTML 7 and have published HTML Help ( a CHM file). When accessing the CHM, the right side of the Help System does not display a topic that I know is okay and within the generated project. What's up?
Answer:
Check and see if you are trying to access the CHM via a network server. You'll find plenty of problems displaying a CHM unless it is local to the user's hard drive. If you are looking to create a Help System that will display via a network drive or over the Web, consider generating WebHelp or FlashHelp.
